Once two smart morons were on the bottom deck of a double- decker bus. The first moron, being an inquisitive chap, de cided to amble up to the deck. He did and immediately dashed madly back.

He worked in the news service with Mr. McLeod, who says that his efficiency in that capacity has not been equalled. Having been graduated from Mars Hill, Dover went to Chapel Hill, where he studied journalism and creative writ ing and held a responsible po sition on the news bureau.

Mrs. Sinclair did much re search in preparation for the play. She visited the locale used and became acquainted with the customs and speech of that section and period of his tory. She visited the scene of battle many times and "fought the battle again." She handles historical facts with imagination, yet with thoroughness. In "Storm on The Mountain" interest is main tained throughout the play. Its well-planned plot adheres strictly to the theme, which is to arouse patriotism in the face of the present crisis. Proof of the success of her plan was shown when the audience broke into spontaneous ap plause after some of the speeches by the characters.
